Fix GPS "traffic cable" incessant warning #22

Open repentsinner opened 3 years ago

repentsinner commented 3 years ago

The Garmin Nuvi GPS has started prompting that the power cable is not compatible with traffic reception; sometimes these prompts come as often as once a minute and cover the main map view until manually dismissed. Traffic is turned off in the GPS settings, so why the device cares beyond terrible implementation is beyond me.

Random internet thread speculates that this might be due to a low voltage condition?

Currently plugged into inexpensive DC/DC converter used to power Stack gauges, may be able to revert to direct 24V source?

Moved to direct 24V source and relocated/reseated power adaptor, so maybe less likely to have intermittent outages? Monitor for changed behavior.

750km with no outage, maybe fixed?

Still issuing warnings as of 2022Q1, so replacing with a Garmin DriveSmart 66 EX.
